TL;DR:
This proposal requests that P2P.org be added to the Validator Boost List (VBL) of Bifrost Polkadot for vDOT staking.
Validator Information
Name of Node Provider: P2P.org
Validator Address: 1737bipUqNUHYjUB5HCezyYqto5ZjFiMSXNAX8fWktnD5AS
Commission: 0.5% (marketing phase for increased visibility)
→ For the Bifrost VBL program, P2P.org commits to capping the fee at 3% (below our standard 5%) to support long-term sustainability and composability in the Polkadot DeFi ecosystem.
About P2P.org
P2P.org is a leading non-custodial staking provider, securing over $10B in assets and running infrastructure across 1000+ validators on 50+ networks. In Polkadot, we operate high-availability nodes with strong slashing protection, SRE monitoring, and a commitment to supporting community and DeFi initiatives.
We strongly believe in contributing to decentralization and diversity. For Bifrost, we propose a dedicated, low-commission validator ( capped at 3%) to support Bifrost. We view this not as a growth opportunity for scale, but as a way to give back to the Polkadot ecosystem by supporting an innovative parachain project like Bifrost.
Purpose of Participation in VBL
We propose adding this validator to the VBL to:
Support Bifrost’s LST protocol with stable and secure validation
Support integration efforts for DeFi platforms via a reputable operator
Contribute to the diversity and decentralization of the Bifrost validator set
Help grow vDOT adoption through technical collaboration and co-marketing
Marketing & Ecosystem Support
P2P.org serves a wide institutional audience across various platforms and client types (custodians, exchanges, fintech apps). Our marketing and communications efforts include:
Blog: Educational and network-specific content with institutional focus
X (Twitter): @p2pvalidator with 22K+ followers
LinkedIn: Active B2B audience with 7K+ followers
• Industry Engagement: As a trusted partner to many of the ecosystem’s leading CEXs, wallets, custodians, and infrastructure projects, we regularly contribute insights, participate in joint initiatives, and help raise awareness of best practices across networks
Upon inclusion in VBL, we will highlight the collaboration with Bifrost through:
Share a blog post and visual guide introducing vDOT and its utility in the Polkadot ecosystem
Announce the partnership via our social and institutional channels
Collaborate on co-branded educational content or AMAs with the community
Infrastructure, Security & Compliance
24/7 Monitoring: Our SRE team continuously monitors uptime, performance, and on-chain data
Redundancy & Failover: Validators operate in geo-distributed, high-availability configurations using Tier-1 cloud providers
Security: Access control via zero-trust policy and enforced role-based access
Regulatory Readiness: We adhere to robust internal controls and security audits, enabling us to serve institutional clients under regulatory scrutiny
Commitment to Continuous Improvement
P2P.org is deeply committed to the long-term success of the Polkadot ecosystem—not only through reliable validation, but also through active development and open-source contributions.
We currently support several community-benefiting projects, including:
Data indexer — an open-source tool for tracking nomination pool activity
Validator monitoring system — built to improve transparency and reliability across the validator set
We’re also proud to be the most profitable operator of nomination pools, helping democratize staking access for users with as little as 1 DOT, and contributing directly to validator set inclusivity.
Beyond operations, we actively follow and support core upgrades such as the transition to Polkadot 2.0 and elastic scaling; migration to the Asset Hub; the development of the JAM protocol and next-generation execution layers.
Thank you for considering P2P.org as a Validator Boost List participant. We look forward to strengthening the Bifrost and Polkadot ecosystem together.
— P2P.org Team
